Through participation with the State of MS Division of Medicaid, CMPDD provides home and community-based services to individuals who are at risk or would require the level of care
found in a nursing facility called the Elderly & Disabled Medicaid Waiver Program. To participate in this program, clients must be 21 years of age or older and unable to perform at least three of the following activities of daily living:
eating, toileting, bathing, personal hygiene, ambulation, transferring, and dressing.
Services under this program include: homemaker services, in-home respite services, institutional respite, adult day care, unlimited home health visits, home-delivered meals, and escorted transportation. All
costs for services are reimbursable to an approved provider and all services must be approved by the Division of Medicaid.
This program includes the following counties in central Mississippi: Copiah, Hinds, Madison, Rankin, Simpson, Warren and Yazoo. A registered nurse and a licensed social worker visit the client on a monthly basis. The registered nurse and licensed social worker, working together as a professional team, must conduct the initial, then yearly assessment to assure that the client qualifies for the program.
